A Spanish edition of the New York Times bestseller that dares us to experience God''s crazy, relentless, all-powerful love--and then respond with radical, sacrificial love towards others.

New York Times-bestselling author Francis Chan calls for believers and churches everywhere to align our hearts with God and start taking seriously His commands to unify. It’s clear from Scripture that God desires unity for His Church. If unity is so important to the heart of God, why is the Church one of the most divided groups on earth? Chan argues that the problem is the shallowness of our love for each other—rooted in a shallowness in our understanding of the gospel. Until Unity shows us: God grieves the division in the Church, so we can’t remain indifferent Unity demands a level of humility only possible by the Spirit The power and witness of the Church hinges on our oneness Unity comes at a cost, but it commands a blessing We must come together as a Christ’s Bride. God desires His people to love one another radically and become the Church He has called us to be. For further individual or small-group study, check out Until Unity Study Guide, an eight-session interactive workbook that serves as a companion to Until Unity, along with a free online video series.

JIKA KEINGINAN ALLAH YANG JADI, GEREJA KITA HARUSNYA SEPERTI APA? Dalam bukunya yang sangat berpengaruh ini, Francis Chan menggali kebenaran Alkitab, merenungkan berbagai kegagalan dan mimpinya, serta berbagai cerita tentang Allah menggunakan orang-orang biasa untuk mengubah dunia ini. Seperti katanya, "Kita telah melenceng jauh dari apa yang Allah inginkan terhadap gerejanya. Kita tahu bahwa gereja kita yang sekarang sangat berbeda dari gereja yang ada dalam Alkitab. Selama puluhan tahun, para pemimpin gereja seperti saya telah kehilangan pemahaman tentang misteri gereja yang ada. Kami telah melatih orang untuk duduk di bangku gereja dan kecanduan hal-hal yang remeh. Sudah waktunya untuk berubah." Saat Yesus kembali, apakah Dia akan menemukan kita sedang melayani gereja-Nya – mengutamakan hal tersebut melebihi hidup kita sendiri? Buku ini mengingatkan kita tentang betapa berkuasa, betapa mulia gereja dahulu ... dan memanggil kita sekali lagi menjadi gereja yang Allah inginkan.

Más difícil de lo que se imagina. Mejor que un cuento de hadas. El matrimonio entre pecadores tiene problemas inevitables. Si has estado casado por más de una semana o dos, sabrás que la difícil realidad de la vida puede afectar en este mundo caído. Tal vez, has tenido la etapa del «érase una vez», pero llegado el momento te das cuenta de que el matrimonio, en este mundo, no es todavía un «felices por siempre». Queremos ayudar, creemos que Dios diseñó el matrimonio no como una prueba para superar sino como un puntero y catalizador hacia un gozo mayor. Dios no creó el matrimonio para ser el final de la historia, sino para ser el comienzo, para ayudarte y prepararte para un «felices por siempre» cuando veamos juntos al gran Novio cara a cara. Los treinta devocionales para leer en Felices por siempre, han sido diseñados para formar, desafiar e inspirar la visión del matrimonio para ti y tu esposa(o) o novia(o). Harder than you imagined. Better than a fairy tale. Marriage between sinners has its inevitable messes. If you’ve been married longer than a week or two, you know how the hard realities of life in a fallen age can come crashing in. Perhaps you had a season of “once upon a time,” but soon enough you realized that this marriage, in this world, is not yet your “happily ever after.” We want to help. We believe that God designed marriage not as a trial to be endured, but as a pointer to and catalyst for your greatest joy. God didn’t design marriage to be your storybook ending, but a fresh beginning, to help get you ready for the true “happily ever after” when together we see our great Bridegroom face to face. The thirty devotional readings in Happily Ever After have been assembled to shape, challenge, and inspire you and your spouse’s (or fiancé’s) vision of marriage.

What does God want for His Church? For your church? Building on each of the nine chapters of his latest book, Letters to the Church, Francis Chan urges Christ-followers to ask honest questions about the structure and values of our churches; study God’s commands for the body of Christ; pray in expectation of the Spirit’s power; and get excited about doing whatever it takes to be the Church God desires. Journey with those around you—in your community, your church, or your small group—and take intentional steps toward living out the biblical principles that fueled a world-changing movement. Don’t settle for just going to church. Be the Church. With the Letters to the Church Study Guide, be challenged and guided to passionately pursue Christ and His magnificent, beautiful vision for His Bride. Designed to be used with the Letters to the Church Video Series (available separately). This interactive study guide includes a free QR code and URL to access all nine videos, plus additional content for engaging study as a group or on your own. To aid you in your planning, following are the session titles and video run times: 1 The Departure 9:48 2 Sacred 8:31 3 The Order 7:35 4 The Gang 6:49 5 Servants 8:09 6 Good Shepherds 8:07 7 Crucified 6:18 8 Unleashed 6:43 9 Church Again 4:10

Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this new commentary series, projected to be 48 volumes, takes a Christ- centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible. Exalting Christ in Phlippians is written by Francis Chan who is the best-selling author of Crazy Love, Forgotten God, Erasing Hell and the host of the BASIC.series (Who Is God & We Are Church).

¡El matrimonio es maravilloso, pero no es para siempre! Dura hasta que la muerte nos separa. Entonces vienen las recompensas o remordimientos dependiendo de cómo vivimos nuestra vida. No podemos permitir que las cosas pequeñas destruyan nuestro matrimonio, pero tampoco permitamos que el matrimonio nos distraiga de cosas aún mayores. Un Dios celoso nos pide que lo busquemos a Él primero y sobre todas las cosas. Es entonces que la vida cobra sentido y todo toma su lugar. El amor, la risa y la intimidad fueron creadas para que las disfrutemos. Así que hay formas de amar a la familia profundamente sin ignorar el cielo. Todo se reduce a nuestro enfoque. Jesús estaba en lo correcto. Nosotros tenemos al revés las prioridades. El camino para tener un matrimonio extraordinario es precisamente no centrarnos en el matrimonio sino en Dios.

This 365-day devotional from "New York Times" bestselling author Francis Chan will reveal the heart and faith behind his prophetic voice to the church. When you pick up this book, you will be challenged, you will be pushed, and you can''t help but change.

O segredo para o crescimento orgânico e saudável do corpo de Cristo está em discípulos fazerem discípulos. Links interativos ao longo do livro trazem explicações do próprio autor sobre o programa de discipulado que ele propõe.

Una sabiduría probada, procedente de tres veteranos líderes de la Iglesia«Yo he rogado por ti, que tu fe no falte; y tú, una vez vuelto, confirma a tus hermanos».En Lucas 22, Jesús le advierte a Pedro que muy pronto tendrá que pasar por una prueba; será zarandeado para probar su fe y para que su debilidad quede al descubierto. Pero también le da aliento, diciéndole que en esa época de desilusión y de fracaso, se volverá más dependiente de Dios y les podrá ministrar mejor a los demás. En Zarandeados, el pastor Wayne Cordeiro ofrece este mismo aliento, diciéndoles la verdad con amor a los que luchan con los desafíos del ministerio en la iglesia, ofreciéndoles ejemplos personales de su propio caminar, y preparándolos a enfrentarse a las dificultades y a las angustias que trae consigo el ser líderes de una iglesia y comenzar nuevos ministerios. Con relatos y conceptos adicionales, procedentes de Francis Chan y Larry Osborne, en cada capítulo hay preguntas que hacen pensar al lector y lo desafían a desarrollar un corazón sometido a Dios, enfocado en «ser y llegar a ser», en lugar de centrarse en «hacer y lograr». Este libro no es una especie de manual lleno de modelos y métodos. Zarandeados desafía cuantas cosas usted ha considerado hasta ahora como éxitos y lo exhorta a comprender que no está solo en las situaciones por las que pasa como líder. Cordeiro, Chan y Osborne le ofrecen una sabiduría a largo plazo que lo puede preparar mejor para una vida de ministerio sometida a Dios.

Read Crazy Love in Simplified Chinese! Now you can experience Francis Chan's life-changing message in this Simplified Chinese version of Crazy Love. God is love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love. Have you ever wondered if we're missing it? It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you've verbalized it yet or not, we all know something's wrong. Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts-it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

¿Cómo un Dios amoroso puede mandar gente al infierno? ¿Tendrán las personas la oportunidad de creer en Jesús e ir al cielo después de morir? Con un humilde respeto por la Palabra de Dios, Francis Chan y Preston Sprinkle abordan las preguntas más profundas que usted tiene sobre el destino eterno. Ellos se han hecho las mismas preguntas. Al igual que usted, en ocasiones ellos no desean creer en el infierno. Mas a medida que escriben concluyen: "No podemos darnos el lujo de estar equivocados". Este no es un libro sobre quién dijo qué. Es un libro sobre lo que Dios dice. No es un libro sobre asuntos teológicos impersonales. Es un libro sobre el pueblo que Dios ama. No es un libro sobre argumentos, doctrinas y estar en lo correcto. Es un libro sobre el carácter de Dios. ¿Eliminamos el infierno? Le sumergirá en la verdad de la Escritura; junto con los autores, encontrará no sólo la verdad, sino también la valentía para vivirla.

Cum se poate ca Dumnezeul Atotputernic sa aiba copii coplesiti de teama si nesigurana?El ne-a dat Duhul Sau cel Sfant, pentru ca lumea sa ne recunoasca dupa puterea neobisnuita din noi (Fapte 1:8;2 Tim. 1:7). Dar din pacate multe biserici si multi credinciosi sunt recunoscuti mai degraba dupa talentul si capacitatea intelectuala, decat dupa puterea lor supranaturala. Ceea ce este si mai grav e ca nu suntem deloc alarmati de situatie. Ar putea fi din cauza faptului ca am uitat de Cel care ne face sa ne distingem de toate celelalte religii si culte din lume? Se spune adesea ca Duhul Sfant este Cenusareasa Dumnezeirii. Este timpul pentru Biserica preaiubita a lui Isus Cristos sa cunoasca reversul acestei stari de fapt si sa urmareasca viata plina de Duhul – o viata din abundenta pe care Dumnezeu a pregatit-o pentru noi. Pe temeiul solid al Scripturii si cu un har narativ greu de egalat, autorul Francis Chan ne îndreapta privirile spre Duhul Sfant, asa cum Il descrie Biblia, si ne aminteste ca noi am fost creati si mantuiti nu pentru a ne tari viata aici pe pamant, ci pentru a trai plini de Duh. Francis Chan este pastor al Bisericii Cornerstone din Simi Valley, California. Este de asemenea fondatorul scolii Eternity Bible College si membru in consiliul directoral al organizatiilor Children’s Hunger Fund si World Impact. Francis Chan isi dedica o mare parte din timpul sau sustinerii de conferinte cu studenii din intreaga tara si predicarii invataturilor bazate strict pe Biblie. Cartea lui de debut, ”Dragoste nebuna”, disponibila si in limba româna, s-a vandut in peste 300.000 de exemplare in primul an si a fost publicata in mai multe limbi. Francis u001dsi familia lui locuiesc in sudul Californiei.

N''avons-nous pas délaissé la troisième personne de la Trinité, sans nous en rendre compte ? A cette puissance incomparable, aurions-nous substitué des capacités tout humaines ? Un peu comme si Dieu nous avait offert un milliard d''euros, et nous découvrait à l''épicerie du coin, dépensant quelques malheureux centimes pour acheter des bonbons. Les conséquences pourraient être tragiques : tiédeur, assoupissement, soif de spectaculaire. Dans notre vie personnelle, dans l''Eglise. Pourquoi avons-nous été sauvés ? Pour survivre à notre vie terrestre ? Pour nous confier dans nos talents ? Non ! Pour que le monde voie, au travers de nous, s''exprimer et agir une puissance surnaturelle (Actes 1 : 8 ; 2 Tim 1 : 7). Francis Chan nous invite, Bible en main, à redécouvrir l''Esprit de Dieu pour mieux exprimer sa puissance... Comment la Bible décrit-elle le Saint-Esprit ? Quel est son rôle ? Comment m''ouvrir à une relation vivante avec lui ?

"Poderoso. ¿Cuándo fue la última vez que alguien usó esa palabra para describirlo? No hace ningún sentido que el Dios todopoderoso tenga hijos que se caracterizan por tener miedo e inseguridad. Él colocó su Espíritu en nosotros para que podamos ser conocidos por su poder ... Tristamente a muchos creyentes e iglesias se les conoce por su talento o intelectualismo, en vez de por su poder sobrenatural. Lo que es peor es que eso está bien con nosotros ..."--Page 4 of cover

This contemporary parable about spiritual empowerment shares a timeless truth: God has a special purpose for you which can be unlocked through the instruction manual for how you operate which he has left for you. You can fulfill that purpose through the help of His Spirit. A powerful lesson based on Acts 1:8 perfectly told for little hearts.
